14  For the palace is forsaken,

the populous city deserted;

the hill and the watchtower

will become dens forever,

^ea joy of wild donkeys,

a pasture of flocks;

19  ⁱAnd it will hail when the forest falls down,

^jand the city will be utterly laid low.

14  For ^aIsrael has forgotten ^bhis Maker

and ^cbuilt palaces,

and ^aJudah has multiplied fortified cities;

so ^dI will send a fire upon his cities,

and it shall devour her strongholds.

11  ⁱand I will cut off the cities of your land

and throw down all your strongholds;
